Re: your favorite and least favorite fragrance catagory

In my mind the more official sounding "families," "categories," "varieties," or "types" of fragrances don't make much difference, and in fact I really can't mentally hold onto "oriental," "fougere," "woody," too well. So my categories are quite informal.

My favorites are vetivers and florals. My least favorite is gourmand and other sweet types.

Re: your favorite and least favorite fragrance catagory

The only thing I truly cannot stand, even when well-done, is aquatics. Gourmand can be nice, if executed with subtlety, but I rarely like them as I find them. Beyond that, anything can be paradise. Notes I do not like are immortelle, "ozone", "white musk," vanillin, overdosed ionones, dihydromyrcenol, muguet, and iso-e-super, but it is indeed always a matter of dosage.

Re: your favorite and least favorite fragrance catagory

Favorites: If you look at my wardrobe, you will see I have a mix of everything. But I tend to like the "difficult" scents from each category.
Least: You won't find a lot of green florals, fougeres, citrus and aquatics.
